Signs and Symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury

November 1, 2013

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are one of the leading types of severe injuries suffered in the United States. Almost 250,000 people are treated for traumatic brain injury each year. While some victims of TBIs are able to recover to a normal and healthy lifestyle, others suffer permanent disabilities.

Impaired vision; blurred and/or double vision

Severe headaches; unable to relieve headache

Seizure

Loss of memory recall

Irritability

Unable to sleep

Inability to recall words when trying to speak

Fatigue even when sleeping

Imbalance
